Vehicular Mobile Pervasive Environments

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the management of access control to location-based services in vehicular mobile pervasive environments and states that it presents new challenges such as invisibility, localized scalability and privacy. The paper states that merging location-based services in pervasive environments with vehicular mobile environments is still in its infancy. Thus the paper presents a descriptive architecture for controlling access to services. The paper concludes that based on a comparative analysis of different access control models, a set of new access control requirements are required in such an environment and the paper shows their integration in its proposed architecture. The paper is well documented and illustrated with tables and figures.

From the Paper:

"Pervasive environments impose new security requirements, especially in the domain of access control such as interoperability, scalability, usability, privacy and trust management [1][2]. In this section, the functional requirements of an access control model implemented in a vehicular mobile pervasive computing system are discussed. The aim is to highlight some of the unique characteristics brought on by the vehicular ad-hoc networks and pervasive computing, to point out access control architectural implications."
